Is this a good option for my daughters art class? Or should i go for the 48 pencils case?

This is a really good deal for 72 pencils. It has a variety of colors she might want. 48 is fine for beginners though. My professor was amazed when I showed up with 72 and told him how much I spent.

I would say the more colours the better. But depending on what we can afford that is always the question. I have 72 pencils and I wish I had 120. But the colours are very nice. And it is a good pencil and if handled with great care they are going to last a while. Great choice for art class.

These are high end artists pencils. I've been using the Prismacolor brand for over 30 years. More color choices is always better, but you can still achieve any desired color you need through layering of different color pencil combinations with a smaller set.

If she's in high school I would go with the 48 unless she's planning on do something out of class involving art because chances are it's a standard art class which means the 48 should be more than enough. A lot of the shades are very similar so it won't be a noticeable difference.

Yes. It's honestly one of the best things I got for myself for my AP studio art class. I used them the whole year and I'm still using them to this day. The pencils are rich in color and are easy to use on top of one another. I would say it depends mostly on whether she will do many projects. If she will I recommend you buy her these. If she will have a project to do every 3 weeks or so get her the 48 case. I hope I helped!

Yup! It's great. We use this for all my daughters colored pencils, school pencils etc!

I have 120 pencils in my case and I love it! It's so easy to get the pencils I need at a glance now... That saves me so much time!

Maybe 5 crayons and 1 pencil would be ideal, more than that the pouch will be bulky. Hope it helps.

If you're asking about the design, it's designed to hold and protect a lot of pencils, and it does a great job of that. It's also well constructed, not flimsy: the stitching and the zipper are first class.

I purchased the following case on Amazon for under $40: Soft Carry Case for Office or Classroom ProjectorIt has plenty of storage and plenty of cushion.

The quality is excellent. It holds 120 pencils when you put 2 in each band 2 holds them tight. 1 pencil is a llittle loose. As far asthr quality, I am very pleased. I use it almost daily and take it with me almost everywhere. It is the best. I have bought more expensive cases that didn't hold up as well.

My 9 year old says colored pencils are best. Markers aren't a good choice bc there are mosaics on both sides of the paper. I have seen him using crayons and they're a little harder to fill the squares accurately.

Yes, I like it! There is plenty of room for the eraser and pens. Nothing falls in the floor. I agree that the picture looks like it might, but it has plenty of flat room for the pens and erasers.

if the pencils are carefully placed, there is enough room for even the newest not to rub or break, definitely a well made usable case

I bought it for my daughter's 2nd grade teacher because every other model she tried quickly died, unable to handle the fatties or the coated pencils. She knows to return it to me if there are any signs of failure so I can return it and she has not said anything so far. I'll ask for an update specifically tomorrow afternoon and report back. (if I remember, maybe ask me again if I forget :-)

122 will fit within the straps safely. You could try 3 in a triangle in the elastic strap (which can fit). 132 will definitely be tight, it could be frustrating to get 3 into the 2 straps for that row pencil, it could work but personally I wouldn't recommend. It is a wonderful kit, buy 2 and have room for sharpeners and eraser pens, pens and other supplies.

Assuming you might be carrying it back and forth to school, I would think you might be better off with a small tablet. They're small enough to go in a back pack (or laptop bag) and don't take up a lot of space on a table or school desk. I use a small tablet in my studio and I find there's still plenty of room to draw on it. The live area of the tablet matches your full desktop on your computer so you can always navigate to anywhere on the screen.

The pencils are protected to an extent because the pencils don't reach the edge. It doesn't have a specific protective over flap though.

Either would work. Pencils are best though - my 6 year old was happy to use colored pencils on these pages.

Yes. I am thinking probably not as many pencils as straws but they should fit.

Good question...I believe it's 2 separate trays and 1 inset tray in the bottom of the tin case. However, might I share with you what I do, as an artist. I never use the cases my supplies come in. For this set I purchased this wonderful black canvas zip case by Global Art that holds 120 colored pencils (amazon.com has them and many Hobby Lobby Stores (not HL online). This way I can arrange my pencils in the color order I desire. The case closes all the way around (zips, thus, no spilled tin case, ruining the pencil tips). This is the largest case (120 capacity) I could find to my liking but holds only 120 and this Prismacolor set is 132. So for the 12 remaining pencils, I easily remedied this by cutting a nice sturdy piece of cardboard out that fits in the case. Then I laid out all the gray tones, black & white colors on this piece of cardboard and hold them flatly against the cardboard with 2 covered hair pony tail bands (or you could use rubber bands). This piece of cardboard with the remaining 12 less-used colors fits perfect in the case and the case closes beautifully! I cannot tell you how wonderful this set is....but it's large and one needs to arrange like-colors together and transfer to a case that is more user-friendly (tins are cool, but not at all practical. They also take up a lot of table surface space, so this case makes all my colors easily accessible. I also highly recommend that after you organize your pencils in the order you want, that you make up a sample color chart and keep it with your pencils for easy identification. Hope this helps!
